You are entirely free to NOT insure your house unless it is being financed and you still have a mortgage on it.

For example, just by investing in toughened glass windows and providing adequate outdoor lighting you can reduce chances for damage caused by storms, vandalism and burglary to your home. Thus, you stand a better chance of being offered a lower home insurance policy with wide coverage.

Buyers must pace the repair works to be done. If their schedules could permit, they could opt to do the renovation slowly to keep them from being overwhelmed with the project. This would be very important especially for those who are restoring Victorian homes and other fixer upper homes for sale with historic significance.
